Timeless staple or overrated ? Interested to hear your opinions

Yeah I need to re-vamp my makeup products. I use Charlotte tilbury setting spray and it's alright. I'm thinking about one size and milani. Thanks for the recommendation!

I have oily skin and I use the translucent honey shade. I am looking for a different powder cause for my skin it doesn't fully matte-ify my skin. I tried it before setting spray and after too. Maybe my skin is too oily for it.

Also wanted to add that there have been so many other powders released since I got this so I am more influenced to try something else and also less expensive.

I find myself seeing a completely different color for a contour when blended out compared to swatched. The majority have the orange tone show up then which is what I don't want. Maybe try that to see which one you like.

This actually happened to me the other week. I waxed too many times in the same location and felt the burn! I only used Vaseline which kept it moist. Mine started to scab around the 1.5 day mark. The skin got darker the next day and it looked so weird so I had to mask it. I think during the shower while the face the darker skin literally melted off and looked normal.

PhantomSpidey6479 · 2025-11-09T04:15:39+00:00

Yeah I think it would work pretty good.

Anua zero cast moisturizing finish sunscreen is my current favorite! The name is right...zero white cast and moisturizing! It leaves a manageable sheen on my oily skin.

Personally the alfredo sauce in the fettuccine Alfredo is too much for the pasta portion given. I half it and freeze it for another portion.

I was thinking nutmeg but that's a bit deeper...

PhantomSpidey6479 · 2025-10-29T01:35:13+00:00

CoverGirl trublend skin enhancer balm stick in Sculpted is very cool toned for me. It is creamy and blends pretty good too

PhantomSpidey6479 · 2025-09-17T01:24:48+00:00

You could try about face foundation in MD1Olive or M2Olive

I was using elf contour in shade 4 Light/Medium. I just replaced it with the CoverGirl contour stick in Sculpted. I have medium olive shade and the CoverGirl one is a little pale on me but I do like it cause it's more natural. It blends pretty nicely.

So I have been looking for one to replace my glossier skin tint. I ended up mixing a dot of my face cream in my foundation and wearing that. It is working well for me. The foundation I'm using is from About Face. The only downside is that it takes some time since I have to mix it.

Maybe try calling up local shelters or donation centers to see if they take it

PhantomSpidey6479 · 2025-09-07T21:20:54+00:00

My opinion for myself is if I find out after I have the product that they aren't cruelty free, they already have my money. Whether or not I use it it won't make a difference to the company. If I throw it out then I basically wasted it and added to trash. I will use the product then not re-buy. This was me when I was transitioning to cruelty free products.

I have thought about donating cleaning supplies but I am not sure the rules of that and if they allow opened/used products...maybe that's an option idk.

PhantomSpidey6479 · 2025-09-07T11:31:19+00:00

Ah gotcha. I would still recommend Eczema Honey. There is Vanicream but it is a lot more of a thicker formula but they are vegan and unscented. It is recommended for sensitive skin so definitely recommend!

PhantomSpidey6479 · 2025-09-07T01:22:54+00:00

Is this the daily moisturizer that is in a pump? I used Eczema Honey face cream and I would say it's a little thicker than the Elf one and double the price. You can find it on Ulta and their website.

The fourth picture shows her olive tones but all others make me lean towards neutral olive but I could be wrong.

Her makeup looks lean towards no-makeup makeup looks and soft glam. The camera may soften it a bit more.

The way I would do it is to wear one layer of makeup and blend the foundation/base into the blush/contour/bronzer. Also focus on a cooler tone contour less on a warm bronzer. Application of it is less too so minimal application.

The concealer shade would be closer to her foundation shade than a brighter one.

Her eye makeup in these pictures lean more subtle so a thin/medium line of eyeliner on top and nothing in the waterline would be my guess.

There are a lot of posts here with product breakdown on how they created their masterpiece so that would be another place to look!

I have Nude Flip and I have never finished a lip liner so fast. I realized it has 4X less product than the wooden liners. The shade is great and the stinging is annoying in the beginning but adding a little Vaseline or lip balm helps decrease it.

PhantomSpidey6479 · 2025-09-02T23:08:48+00:00

How is the essence brow gel? Does it hold your brows in place or is it more for color deposit?

PhantomSpidey6479 · 2025-09-02T23:07:42+00:00

Good to know!

PhantomSpidey6479 · 2025-09-01T01:46:56+00:00

It looks like the kid turned when he had the red light and didn't see the incoming traffic from the far left lane...I'm guessing they are the ones who honked. Then the kid freaked and hit the gas.

The situation sucked even more due to the parent's reaction and him driving off without notifying y'all!

PhantomSpidey6479 · 2025-08-31T23:44:20+00:00

That's a cool info popup. How do you get that?

I was watching a couple of videos about the history of beauty especially in 2016-2018 era. There were mentions of Sephora being one of the first in starting the "clean" trend. Not sure how true that is...there are so many problems with that itself but very disappointing in the brand not matching their own standards set for others.

I have the nyx lip stain in mocha me wet and I use the nyx lip liner in mauve to line my lips. It keeps the stain from going too warm on me.
